Oh look, Chicken Thursday!

On Sunday I told you about the cake mishap that happened on Saturday at our youngest granddaughter's birthday party. I also told you that later on that same Sunday the plan was to have cupcakes at another birthday party (for another granddaughter) and that I would keep you posted.

The bag containing the cupcakes tipped over in the trunk of our car on the way to the party. They remained edible, but looked very different than the masterpieces they started out as.

Today's video share looks at the process of anodizing titanium and how to make it appear in different colours.

An goober goes for a job interview in an office. 

The interviewer starts with the basics.  "So, Miss, can you tell us your age, please?"

The goober counts carefully on her fingers for half a minute before replying.......  "Ehhhh...  22."

The interviewer tries another straightforward one to break the ice.  "And can you tell us your height, please?"

The young lady stands up and produces a measuring tape from her handbag.  She then traps one end under her foot and extends the tape to the top of her head.  She checks the measurement and announces ....."Five foot two!"

This isn't looking good so the interviewer goes for the real basics; something the interviewee won't have to count, measure, or lookup.  "Just to confirm for our records, your name please?"

The goober bobs her head from side to side for about fifteen seconds, mouthing something silently to herself, before replying ......."Mandy!"

The interviewer is completely baffled at this stage, so he asks "What were you doing when I asked you your name?"

"Ohhhh, that!" replies the goober, " I was just running through that song,......  'Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you....' ".

One day you will want to send me money but you will find me rich and I won't accept it - so use this opportunity now.

Isn't the Grand Canyon just gorges!?

My mind thinks I'm 25; my body thinks I'm an idiot!

While waiting at the veterinarian's office, I overheard two women chatting about their dogs.

"What's your dog's name?" asked the first woman.

"Well, we used to call her Pork Chop," answered the second lady. "But after the vet bills we've had, we now call her Filet Mignon."

Susan Page writes . . . . 

There are those devastating times when we receive hard news. Processing and dealing with the emotions that come with bad news takes strength that comes from God alone. However, there are circumstances where time is limited, and sometimes, by God’s grace, we need to simply, “just show up.”

I recently watched the story of Kara Tippetts. It’s called The Long Goodbye. It’s a story of a young pastor’s wife, a mother of four sweet kids, dealing with the devastating reality of stage IV cancer. It is a beautifully portrayed picture of a woman moving from fear and control toward peace and grace. She continually points towards the God of compassion who is with us in our suffering, shaping pain into beauty.
